    I have the same problem with my Mom. She asks for lists, but I NEVER get what I put on there.

    Christmas may be a bit materialistic in the "list" sense: "Hey, I want this, get it for me." and you expect to get it.

    But my Mom buys stuff that I don't need, clothes, etc. It's even worse for my girlfriend. My Mom's bought her a few things she would never wear and are not her style.

    I try to suggest gift certificates, but my mom thinks they're too impersonal.

    Strange logic. GC's allow the person to get what they want when you don't know what they want. Simple, safe bet.

    I was thinking of telling my mom I want a 1GB memory card for my Fostex 8-Track because I really need it.

    My luck I'd end up getting some kind of memory enhancing herbal pills.
